Sandra‘s Closet

Following my tradition, here are my favourite outfits of 2024 on the last day of the year – a little retrospective recalling my most fashionable moments, photographed in amazing places around the globe. I spent the past months mostly in Istanbul filming MY STYLE ROCKS and I am so grateful for this adventure that will continue in 2025.

Enjoy your New Year’s Eve! May your 2025 be as stylish as it is successful. I am wishing you a year of bold fashion choices, new inspirations, and a closet that always feels like your happy place.

Fair Isle sweaters (or cardigans), renowned for their intricate, multicolored patterns, have become a quintessential element of winter fashion. Originating from Fair Isle in Scotland, these sweaters have evolved from traditional knitwear to contemporary fashion staples, blending heritage with modern style.

In the 2024 winter season, Fair Isle sweaters are experiencing a significant resurgence. Fashion houses like Chloé, Thom Browne, and Polo Ralph Lauren, have incorporated them into their collections, showcasing the pattern’s versatility and timeless appeal.

Fair Isle is here to stay: Altuzarra S/S 2025

Styling Tips
• Casual Wear: Pair a Fair Isle sweater with jeans and boots for a cozy, everyday look.
• Layering: Combine with a collared shirt underneath to add a touch of sophistication.
• Festive Ensemble: Opt for sweaters featuring traditional Christmas colors or motifs to enhance the holiday spirit.

Embracing Fair Isle sweaters this Christmas not only aligns with current fashion trends but also adds a touch of traditional charm to your holiday wardrobe. Their versatility and timeless appeal make them a joyful addition to any festive ensemble.

Opting to leave medical school, he pursued a comprehensive path, including a preparatory course, a diploma in narrative drawing, engraving courses and studies in plastic arts. He also founded the association, Un Fanzine par Mois, which publishes and distributes micro-published books.

Mr. Dalin’s artistic style in boldly modern, unconventional, and distinctly contemporary. His confident strokes bring forth dense compositions with intricate details, showcasing his expertise in architectural mastery that unfolds in graphic landscapes, playing with a juxtapositionof intimate and grandiloquent spaces.

Influenced by the ligne claire movement, Mr. Dalin draws inspiration from luminaries such as Winsor McCay, Schuiten, Moebius, and Pierre Clement, crafting his own unique universe.
